Dr Seuss

Another of his unforgettable quote...

What can I add? No really? 

Except maybe a little touch of color with a moon white copic marker.

I will not dare adding anything else.

LOVE

LOVE.

A 4bar mini card for a change.

I wanted to use this new Love die cut I found at the Scrapbook fair: I punched it on a white card stock, rounded two corners, and matted it on silver with a tiffany blue piece of paper peeking under the love openings.

I added a blue ribbon that I secured with a silver thread tied in a bow.

I also rounded one of the corner of the linen card itself.

Thank You Notes

Thank You Notes

Nothing in those little notes, really.

White linen, with rounded corners, the only noticing thing is the message... sweet as can be!

A simple thank you sometimes is not enough, so how about a:

Bless Your Heart

   

or a

How Kind

or a 

You Shouldn't Have

or again a

Oh My!

Baby Dresser

Baby Dresser.

I know, it looks like a million, right?

Now, if I tell you it takes a minute to make it, you will call this card a winner, right?

I cut out 3 rectangles for the dresser drawers and I added them with some dimensionals to the card.

I also put 2 brads on each to mimic the drawer handles.
I added a small piece at the top of the card to make it look like the top of the dresser.

Now the hard part: I didn't have any baby pajama punch or die cut at the time, so I cut it our freely, and added a hanger made with a paper clip that I opened up and folded again.

 The web is full of tutorials on "how to make a doll hanger with a paper clip".

To add a piece of color, I added a triangle folded over the last drawer: the "blanket" is made with a piece of material cut with pinking shears and glued to a blue card stock.

That's it!

Easy, right!

Pile of Gifts

Pile of Gift.

This card could go for a birthday as well as a wedding card because of the colors chosen.

I punched 3 squares in increasing sizes in Tiffany blue paper and added what looks like a top in white card stock.

I used a Stampin'up edger punch for a little details.

I then tied a piece of silver thread around the three gift and try my best to make a pretty bow on top. Not easy, this thread was unraveling like crazy!

Hang in There

Hang in There

As a scrapbooker, I sometimes keep papers and embellishments forever before finding where to case them.

The paper in this card was actually a wrapping paper, hard to see in here, but it is in cotton more than paper.

I I like the mix of texture in this card, although you cannot really tell in the picture.

The sun is punched with a scallop punch, the clouds are from two sizes of Fiskars cloud punches.

The birdhouse is an ITTY BITTY stamp, and I cut it out and propped it with dimensionals, which allowed me to tie a piece of baker's twine.

I anchored the two ends of the twine with some heart stickers and added a handwritten sentiment.

Valentine's Day Bird on a Line

Valentine's day Bird on a Line.

I stamped the bird in very light blue and cut it out leaving a very slim margin around.

On a white linen card stock, I added 2/3 blue card stock for the sky, a 1/3 kraft card stock and at the limit between the two card stocks, I added a piece of baker's twine.

I punched out a big cloud (or part of it) with the Fiskars cloud punch and added a small white cloud made with the small Fiskars punch.

To finish the card, I added three mini heart (Recollections mini punch) and a sentiment stamped in red with a Craft Smart stamp.

This is a 4bar size card.

For a Special Couple

Fora Special Couple.

A newly wed card for a change.

I folded a kraft card stock almost in two so the white liner with a decorative edge and the message could be seen once the card is closed.

The decorative punch is from Fiskars, the heart punch is a Making Memories one and the ribbon tied on the top flap is from Martha Stewart.

Thank you in the Sky

Thank You in the Sky

I used an ITTY BITTY banner stamp in pink and cut out the different pennon before threading them with some baker's twine.

I added a few clouds punched with my Fiskars cloud punch and printed a Sparkle'n Sprinkle sentiment on one of them.

Love Note with Key

Love Note with Key.

I made the envelope in scoring diagonally a rectangle in red shiny paper.

I then punched a double heart in the middle with an EK Success punch and added the red heart in the middle.

I used a stamp with no name for the key, cut it our and tied it with a piece of rope around the envelope.

The envelop is propped up with dimensionals.

Good Luck my Friend

Good Luck My friend

I made this card for a friend of mine who opened a little cafe a few months ago.

I first printed the "Good luck my friend" in green: this is a stamp from studio g.

I then added a circled sentiment from Stu Kilgour in black, and matted all with a scalloped circle in  green.

I added a piece of red card stock with scalloped edge.

Valentine's day Tiffany Blue

Valentine's Day Tiffany Blue

This card is in white card stock, with three punched heart in Tiffany Blue paper with a small white heart punch in the middle.

I added a band of blue paper at the bottom and a band of white with a punched edge (stampin'up edge punch).

The sentiment is from a Craft Smart stamp and I used two shiny brad to hold it.
